The Republic

Více o knize

Exploring the nature of justice, the book delves into why men act fairly—whether out of fear of societal consequences, divine retribution, or personal gain. Plato seeks to define justice and argues for its intrinsic value, independent of external rewards or punishments. By focusing on human psychology rather than mere behavior, he aims to demonstrate that justice is beneficial in its own right, addressing fundamental questions about morality and societal structure within the framework of his philosophical discourse.
